FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of power delivery device, and more particularly to a vertical power supply system and a manufacturing method of a connection board.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In recent years, the artificial intelligence which is developed rapidly has played an increasingly critical role in large data centers, smart phones, various industrial robots, and automatic driving etc. The core technology of artificial intelligence is data processing, and the key to intelligentize data processing lies in various intelligent processor chips, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Power supply system is very important for the performance of the processor chip, and a stable power supply voltage can effectively improve the performance of the processor chip. Therefore, the steady-state and dynamic performances of the power supply system are also very important for the processor chip.

In the power supply system, the connection impedance between the power unit and the processor chip is relatively large, which directly affects the power supply performance of the power unit to the processor chip, resulting in poor performance of the processor chip, and in turn leading to poor power supply performance of the overall power supply system. Currently, the transmission impedance from the power unit to the processor chip in the power supply system can be effectively reduced through employing a vertical power supply system.

In order to improve the efficiency of the vertical power supply system in supplying power to the processor chip, the power unit and the processor chip are located on two opposite sides of a substrate. However, due to the limited size of processor chip, the number of output capacitors in the power supply system arranged per unit of area is also limited, which is not conducive to the dynamic performance of power supply. Following is the formula for calculating the voltage waveform of the output voltage in a transient state.

${{vo}(t)} = {{{{ic}(t)}*{ESR}} + {ESL*\frac{a}{dt}{{ic}(t)}} + {\frac{1}{C}{\int_{0}^{t}{{{ic}(t)}{dt}}}}}$

When the number of output capacitors connected in parallel becomes more, the equivalent series resistance (ESR) and the equivalent series inductance (ESL) become smaller. Based on the calculation formula above, when the equivalent series resistance and the equivalent series inductance decrease and the output capacitance increases, the drop of the output voltage in the transient state can be reduced. Oppositely, when the output capacitance decreases, the drop of the output voltage in the transient state increases. Therefore, the quantity of output capacitors directly affects the performance of the overall vertical power supply system.

Please refer to FIG. 1 which is a schematic cross-sectional diagram showing a conventional vertical power supply system. The conventional vertical power supply system 1′ includes a system board 2′, a substrate 3′, a power unit 4′ and a chip 5′. The substrate 3′ is disposed on a first surface of the system board 2′ and includes a plurality of output capacitors 31′ embedded therein. The power unit 4′ is disposed on the substrate 3′, and the substrate 3′ is located between the power unit 4′ and the system board 2′. The substrate 3′ is used to transmit signals and power between the power unit 4′ and the system board 2′. The chip 5′ is disposed on a second surface of the system board 2′. Due to a higher demand of the output capacitors 31′ in the conventional vertical power supply system 1′, the quantity of the output capacitors 31′ in the substrate 3′ correspondingly becomes more, resulting in a larger area of the substrate 3′ which is easily bent, and in turn causing influences on the manufacturing process. Moreover, since the output capacitors 31′ are embedded in the substrate 3′, the performance requirements for the output capacitors 31′ are relatively high, such as the capacitor should be suitable for being embedded with high voltage tolerance and high capacitance. Furthermore, the conventional vertical power supply system 1′ inevitably may experience the influences of temperature cycles and humidity during usage, and the substrate 3′ and the output capacitors 31′ embedded therein with different thermal expansion coefficients and equivalent expansion coefficients may result in a higher mismatch stress. Besides, due to the manufacturing process of the substrate 3′, the output capacitors 31′ embedded therein can only be arranged on a two-dimensional plane, and due to the embedding process of the circuit board, the gaps between the multiple output capacitors 31′ are relatively large. Accordingly, the quantity of the output capacitors 31′ that can be embedded in the substrate 3′ within a limited space is significantly affected thereby, which is not conducive to the improvement of the total capacitance of the output capacitors 31′.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a vertical power supply system and a manufacturing method of a connection board to solve the problems in the prior art.

The present disclosure will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of embodiments of this disclosure are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 . FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram showing a vertical power supply system according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the vertical power supply system in FIG. 2 . In this embodiment, a vertical power supply system 1 includes a system board 2, a substrate 3, a chip unit 4, a plurality of first capacitors 51, a plurality of second capacitors 52, a plurality of conductive portions 6 and power units 7. The system board 2 includes a first surface 21 and a second surface 22, and the first surface 21 and the second surface 22 are opposite to each other. The substrate 3 includes a third surface 31 and a fourth surface 32, and the third surface 31 and the fourth surface 32 are opposite to each other. The third surface 31 of the substrate 3 is located between the fourth surface 32 and the second surface 22 of the system board 2. Exemplarily, the chip unit 4 is a central processing unit, a graphics processing unit, a tensor processing unit (TPU) or a neural network processing unit (NPU), and the chip unit 4 is disposed on the first surface 21 of the system board 2.

In some embodiments, the plurality of first capacitors 51 are output capacitors and disposed on the second surface 22 of the system board 2. Exemplarily, the first capacitors 51 are selected to have appropriate frequency characteristics in accordance with the operating frequency of the chip unit 4. The first capacitors 51 are equipped with functions of filtering and energy storage, and at the same time, are capable of eliminating the high frequency noises of the vertical power supply system 1, so as to provide a purified current for the chip unit 4. The first capacitors 51 further provide the supplementary current when the chip unit 4 is switched between different operating states for reducing the voltage drop and stabilizing the operation of the chip unit 4. The plurality of second capacitors 52 are disposed on the third surface 31 of the substrate 3. Further, the second capacitors 52 are equipped with functions of filtering and energy storage and capable of stabilizing the operation of the chip unit 4.

Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a vertical power supply system 1, in which the plurality of first capacitors 51 are disposed on the second surface 22 of the system board 2 and the plurality of second capacitors 52 are disposed on the third surface 31 of the substrate 3, that is, the capacitors in the vertical power supply system 1 of the present disclosure are not embedded in the substrate 3 but disposed on the surface of the substrate 3. Moreover, other than disposing the capacitors on the surface of the substrate 3, there are also capacitors disposed on the surface of the system board 2, so that, compared with the conventional vertical power supply system which has the capacitors embedded in the substrate, the first capacitors 51 and the second capacitors 52 in the vertical power supply system 1 of the present disclosure which are not embedded in the substrate can be selected to employ a material from a wider range and with a lower cost. Furthermore, because the first capacitors 51 and the second capacitors 52 are respectively disposed on the surfaces of the system board 2 and the substrate 3, the arrangement of the capacitors in the vertical power supply system 1 can be developed in a three-dimensional manner to effectively increase the quantity of capacitors, thereby achieving the effect of improving the total capacitance of output capacitors and providing a stable working voltage to the chip unit 4.

Please refer to FIG. 2 . In order to increase the quantity of capacitors per unit of area, in this embodiment, each of the second capacitors 52 is positioned between a corresponding first capacitor 51 and the third surface 31 of the substrate 3, and each of the first capacitors 51 is positioned between a corresponding second capacitor 52 and the second surface 22 of the system board 2.

Please refer to FIG. 2 . The substrate 3 further includes a plurality of first pins 33, a plurality of second pins 34, and a plurality of first conductive structures 35. The plurality of first pins 33 are disposed on the third surface 31 of the substrate 3, and each of the second capacitors 52 and each of the plurality of conductive portions 6 are respectively disposed on and electrically connected to a corresponding first pin 33. The plurality of second pins 34 are disposed on the fourth surface 32 of the substrate 3, and each of the power units 7 is disposed on a corresponding second pin 34, and an output terminal of each of the power units 7 is electrically connected to the corresponding second pin 34. Each of the first pins 33 is electrically connected to a corresponding second pin 34 through a corresponding first conductive structure 35. Exemplarily, the first conductive structure 35 includes a via or a blind hole. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , the first conductive structure 35 is a via. In another embodiment, the first conductive structure 35 is a blind hole, and a conductive layer (not shown) is further formed in the substrate 3, wherein the first pin 33 and the corresponding second pin 34 are electrically connected to the conductive layer respectively through the corresponding first conductive structure in the form of blind hole, and thus, the second capacitor 52 disposed on the first pin 33 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the corresponding power unit 7 through the first conductive structure 35.

Please refer FIG. 4A and FIG. 2 to FIG. 3 . FIG. 4A is a schematic view showing an arrangement of elements on the third surface of the substrate in the vertical power supply system in FIG. 2 . As shown in FIG. 3 , the plurality of conductive portions 6 are arranged to form a plurality of first arrangement rows, the plurality of first capacitors 51 are arranged to form a plurality of second arrangement rows, and the plurality of second capacitors 52 are arranged to form a plurality of third arrangement rows. The second arrangement rows are adjacent to and aligned with the third arrangement rows one by one in a vertical direction, and each pair of aligned second arrangement row and third arrangement row are located between two adjacent first arrangement rows in a horizontal direction. In some embodiments, plural pairs of second arrangement rows and third arrangement rows are arranged between two adjacent first arrangement rows. The arrangements of the first arrangement rows, the second arrangement rows and the third arrangement rows are not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 4A, because the conductive portions 6 are disposed on the corresponding first pins 33, the first pins 33 as shown in FIG. 2 are also arranged to form a plurality of first arrangement rows and are alternately arranged with the plurality of third arrangement rows formed by the plurality of second capacitors 52. It is also possible to arrange plural third arrangement rows between two adjacent first arrangement rows, and the arrangements of the first arrangement rows and the third arrangement rows are not limited thereto. Notably, the conductive portions 6, the first capacitors 51 and the second capacitors 52 are not limited to be arranged in rows, and can be varied in accordance with practical requirements. For example, in some embodiments, the first pins 33 corresponding to the conductive portions 6 also can be arranged to locate at two sides of the first capacitors 51 and the second capacitors 52, as shown in FIG. 4B, so that the conductive portions 6 are arranged at two sides of the first capacitors 51 and the second capacitors 52. However, in this condition, a necessity is at least one first capacitor 51 is arranged between the corresponding first pins 33 of two adjacent conductive portions 6, and also, at least one second capacitor 52 is arranged between the corresponding first pins 33 of two adjacent conductive portions 6, namely, at least one first capacitor 51 is arranged between two adjacent conductive portions 6, and also, at least one second capacitor 52 is arranged between two adjacent conductive portions 6. Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the installation direction of each of the second capacitors 52 can be arranged parallel or perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the substrate 3, and the installation direction of each of the first capacitors 51 (not shown in FIG. 4A) is similar to that of the second capacitor 52, wherein the longitudinal direction of the substrate 3 is the direction indicated by F1 shown in FIG. 4A. In order to increase the quantity of the first capacitors 51 and the second capacitors 52 arranged in the limited space, the installations of both exemplarily remain identical, so that the first capacitors 51 and the second capacitors 52 are correspondingly matched to each other in the vertical direction, that is, the projection of each of the first capacitors 51 on the second surface 22 of the system board 2 and the projection of each of the second capacitors 51 on the second surface 22 of the system board 2 are partially or completely overlapped. Consequently, it is known from the above that, in the vertical power supply system 1 according to the present disclosure, the first capacitors 51 and the second capacitors 52 are stacked in two layers, so that a large amount of capacitors can be disposed in the limited space, so as to meet the required output capacitance for the vertical power supply system 1.

Please refer FIG. 5A which is a schematic cross-sectional diagram showing a vertical power supply system according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. Compared with the vertical power supply system 1 in FIG. 2 , in a vertical power supply system 1 a as shown in FIG. 5A, the substrate 3 further includes a plurality of trenches 36 and a plurality of connecting leads 38. The plurality of trenches 36 are concavely formed from the third surface 31 of the substrate 3. The trenches 36 are used to accommodate the second capacitors 52, and the second capacitors 52 are disposed in the trenches 36 through a process such as spot welding of solder paste, patching, reflow soldering or the like. Each connecting lead 38 is connected between a corresponding trench 36 and a corresponding first conductive structure 35, namely, the second capacitor 52 disposed in the trench 36 is electrically connected to the first conductive structure 35 through the connecting lead 38, and the second capacitor 52 disposed in the trench 36 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the corresponding power unit 7, which is disposed on the corresponding second pin 34, through the connecting lead 38 and the first conductive structure 35. In the vertical power supply system 1 a, since the second capacitor 52 is disposed in the trench 36 of the substrate 3, the height of the second capacitor 52 protruded from the third surface 31 of the substrate 3 is reduced, resulting in a reduced height of the conductive portion 6, and thus, the power supplying distance between the chip unit 4 and the power unit 7 is also shortened to reduce the total loop impedance.

Please refer to FIG. 5B which is a schematic cross-sectional diagram showing a vertical power supply system according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. Compared with the vertical power supply system 1 in FIG. 2 , in a vertical power supply system 1 e as shown in FIG. 5B, the substrate 3 further includes a plurality of trenches 36, a plurality of second conductive structures 37 and a plurality of connecting leads 38. The plurality of trenches 36 are concavely formed from the third surface 31 of the substrate 3. The trenches 36 are used to accommodate the second capacitors 52, and the second capacitors 52 are disposed in the trenches 36 through a process such as spot welding of solder paste, patching, reflow soldering or the like. Each of the second conductive structures 37 is connected to a corresponding trench 36 and is arranged in a direction parallel to the first conductive structure 35. Each of the connecting leads 38 is connected between a corresponding second conductive structure 37 and a corresponding first conductive structure 35, and is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the corresponding second conductive structure 37 and the corresponding first conductive structure 35. That is, the second capacitor 52 disposed in the trench 36 is electrically connected to the first conductive structure 35 through the second conductive structure 37 and the connecting lead 38, and the second capacitor 52 disposed in the trench 36 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the corresponding power unit 7, which is disposed on the corresponding second pin 34, through the second conductive structure 37, the connecting lead 38 and the first conductive structure 35.

Please refer to FIG. 6 which is a schematic cross-sectional diagram showing a vertical power supply system according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. Compared with the vertical power supply system 1 a in FIG. 5A in which the conductive portions 6 are implemented to be conductive columns, in a vertical power supply system 1 b as shown in FIG. 6 , the conductive portions 6 are implemented to be solder balls. The solder balls can be ball grid array (BGA) solder balls, or solder balls with high temperature cores, such as copper cores or high melting point solder cores. In an embodiment of the vertical power supply system 1 b, the solder balls with high temperature cores are disposed at four corners of the substrate 3 and regular solders are disposed at other positions of the substrate 3 for avoiding the collapse of the solder balls, thereby improving the process yield.

Please refer FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 . FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram showing a vertical power supply system according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 8 is an exploded view of the vertical power supply system in FIG. 7 .

In this embodiment, the vertical power supply system 1 c further includes a plurality of third capacitors 53, and each of the third capacitors 53 is disposed on the side wall 63 of a corresponding connection board 60. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8 , there have the corresponding first capacitor 51, the corresponding second capacitor 52 and the corresponding third capacitor 53 disposed between two adjacent conductive boards 60, so that the quantity of capacitors in the vertical power supply system 1 c is further increased. Besides, since the position of the third capacitor 53 is closer to the chip unit 4 than the second capacitor 52, the functions of filtering and energy storage of the third capacitor 53 are more effective, which is beneficial to stabilize the operation of the chip unit 4.
